Climate change adaptation in agriculture and natural resources management
1 Mar 2010 - 12 Mar 2010
Unit: CD IC
Location: East Africa
Organisation: Wageningen International

 Policy making and programming for sustainable development 

Changing climate and weather patterns are predicted to have severe negative impacts on food production, food security and natural resources in East Africa. Without appropriate responses climate change is likely to constrain economic development and poverty reduction efforts and exacerbate already pressing difficulties. Especially countries with economies rooted in climate sensitive sectors like agriculture, fisheries and forestry are expected to be hardest hit. Targets as defined in the Millennium Development Goals will be more difficult to reach.

The aim of this course is for participants to gain full understanding of climate change adaptation concepts. They are able to effectively and meaningfully contribute to the debate on climate change adaptation, either in the policy process and or in providing knowledge to the policy process.  They will strengthen their positions in these processes on the basis of newly acquired concepts, skills and methodologies.

Please note that NFP is only available for nationals from Sub-Saharan African countries.
